Promoter Eddie Hearn said that he was willing to give Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (51-4-1, 33 KOs) another chance, despite his loss in a recent fight against Daniel Jacobs.
Chavez before the fight - once again - could not make weight. He also disappointed his fans in the ring, surrendering after the fifth round. The son of the legendary Mexican explained his action by a hand injury, and the fact that the referee ignored his opponent's fouls, but it was not the first nomass in his career - earlier in 2015 Chavez Jr. has refused to continue his fight against Andrzej Fonfara.
